Aurifil Mako 50wt Cotton Thread Cone - 5003 Wine

Bring a touch of rich, sophisticated colour and timeless elegance to your quilting and sewing projects with Aurifil Mako 50wt Cotton Cone 5003 Wine.

Wine is a beautiful, deep red thread with rich burgundy-inspired tones that add warmth, depth, and character to your stitching. Reminiscent of a full-bodied red wine, this elegant shade offers a wonderful alternative to brighter reds, making it an excellent choice for projects that call for a more refined and dramatic colour.

This versatile thread pairs beautifully with traditional patchwork fabrics, vintage-inspired florals, rich jewel tones, creamy neutrals, warm browns, forest greens, and sophisticated modern quilting palettes. Whether you're creating a classic burgundy-and-cream quilt, adding definition to applique designs, or looking for a rich red thread to complement your favourite fabrics, Wine brings beautiful depth and understated elegance to your projects.

As a solid-colour thread, Wine provides consistent colour throughout your stitching, making it ideal for coordinating seams, decorative quilting, and designs where you want a beautiful, uniform finish.
